Gallery Blooms Color Challenge

 

Gallery Blooms + Everyday Arches + Damask Embossing Folder

Today I created this card as a participant in the March Ink & Inspiration Color Challenge.  It's no secret that I like to create floral cards, and these cards really lend themselves to a flower arrangement.  Gallery Blooms has been one of my favorite stamp and die bundles for the last year!!  


March 2026 Color Challenge

Gallery Blooms + Everyday Arches + Damask Embossing Folder

The Damask embossing folder is so pretty and a creates a beautiful background behind a floral focal point.  I used Stampin' Blender Pens to pick up ink from my ink pads to color the flowers and leaves.  
I used the Everyday Arches Dies to carry the shape of the focal point on the front and also the inner card.  

Inner View
